Unable to locate game files

Postby DeltaBravoLima » 31 Dec 2019, 05:38

Hi,

I've just installed the FAF client on my desktop and laptop. Both installs were unable to locate my game files, I directed both to the install location on my laptop (C:\progamfiles\Steamapps\common\forged alliance) and on my desktop (not on C drive, on steam folder on F drive). It worked fine on my laptop but it doesn't seem to have worked on my desktop.

I have tried specifying the file location multiple times on my desktop and it does not seem to stick and it keeps asking me. I have also tried restarting my PC and that doesn't seem to have helped.

Any ideas?

I solved the issue with help from the discord forum. I added a path variable to the preferences file. Please see screenshot.

Adding this 'path' variable to the prefs file fixed the issue
